Bruce Blakeman is a lifelong New Yorker, a father, husband, and public servant who knows how to lead, and WIN.
As Nassau County Executive, he was re-elected in 2025 by 12 points in a Democrat-leaning county by doing what Albany won’t: keeping communities safe, cutting taxes, and putting common sense first.
He fought sanctuary policies, rejected mask mandates, stopped boys from playing in girls sports, and made Nassau the safest County in America while hiring hundreds of new police officers.
A 9/11 Port Authority Commissioner and two-term County Executive, Bruce has led through crisis and delivered results. He’s built the blueprint to beat Kathy Hochul, and he’s ready to put New York First.
Bruce Blakeman has delivered real results in Nassau County, making it safer, cutting taxes, and pushing back against Albany mandates. Now he’s running for Governor to bring that same leadership to the entire state and put New Yorkers first.

As County Executive, Bruce Blakeman hired 600 new Police and Law Enforcement Officers to keep Nassau families safe - helping to improve response times, boost neighborhood patrols and make Nassau the safest County in America. Blakeman has a no-nonsense approach to fighting crime.
Bruce Blakeman eliminated $150 million in property tax hikes scheduled by his predecessor. As County Executive he didn’t raised property or sales taxes by a single penny. As Governor, he will deliver real relief to homeowners and renters - just as he did as County Executive.
Bruce Blakeman stands with President Donald Trump in the fight to restore law and order, cut taxes, and put New Yorkers first. He shares President Trump’s commitment to strong borders, safe communities, and a government that works for the people, not political insiders.
Sheriff Todd Hood is Bruce Blakeman’s running mate for Lieutenant Governor of New York. A career law enforcement leader, he brings more than 30 years of experience protecting communities and strengthening public safety.
Born and raised in Oneida, New York, Todd began his career in corrections and graduated from the Mohawk Valley Police Academy in 1991. He went on to serve more than two decades with the Syracuse Police Department and later worked as an investigator with the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office.
In 2018, he was elected Sheriff of Madison County, where he leads more than 170 sworn officers and staff and oversees countywide law enforcement operations.
As candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Todd Hood is focused on keeping New Yorkers safe and delivering strong, proven leadership statewide.
